Junior forward Ben Meschke tied the game in the 36th minute as the teams took the 1-1 draw into the halftime break.

Meschke found the back of the net for the second time in the match just over one minute into the second half for his ninth goal of the season.

Hayden Strobel capped of the scoring plays in the 61st minute off an Aidan Hurley assist to make it 3-1.

The Hornets outshot the Scots 19-9 in the match and held a 9-5 advantage in shots on goal. 

Goalie Luke Kastran tallied four saves while allowing just the one score.
